KURTZ, MARLOW'S AUNT AND THE POPULAR PRESS: ModBrits on 15 March 2000 published a call for papers for a panel proposal at the Modernist Studies Association's "New Modernisms II" Conference to be held 12-15 October 2000 at the University of Pennsylvania. Among the suggestions for possible papers, the announcement asks, "Why does Conrad portray Mr. Kurtz as 'writing for the papers' and Marlow's aunt as having been 'carried off her feet' by a flood of 'rot let loose in print'?" Stephen A. Ross of the Queens University in Canada plans to present a paper on Conrad at the conference and we are hoping it will contain the answers. The JCF, with Mr. Ross and his university's assistance, is planning a reception and exhibit at the conference.

San Diego Conference: - The monthly magazine, Polska (Polnad, Warsaw) No. 10, October, 1974 carried under "Nasza poczta" (Our Mail), an item noting receipt from the University of California at San Diego of voluminous information concerning the organization of the International Conference of Conrad Scholars on the occssion of the fiftieth anniversary of the death of the great writer. The honorary chairman of the event was the outstanding Anglicist, Dr. Przemyslaw J. Mroczkowski, a professor at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. The Tigodnik Powszechny (General Weekly, Krakow) No. 36, 9 August 1974 (which erroneously called the occasion the centenary), points out that the world literature of the present is beholden to the great writer and cites as examples Camus, Faulkner, Malraux and Andrzejewski and points that for the occasion there are sessions and conference on the problems of Conrad's work being conducted in Poland and in England, the writer's second homeland.
